The LS-10 is a modern interpretation of the classic Tartan Ten one-design racer, produced by Southern Caribbean (SOCA) Sailboats in Trinidad from the early 2000s into the mid-2010s. Built using the original Sparkman & Stephens Tartan Ten hull molds, the LS-10 conforms to the Tartan Ten class rules but adds modern improvements to comfort, deck functionality, and layout. Often described as an "oversized dinghy" thanks to its tall masthead rig, narrow beam, and fin-and-spade-rudder underbody, the LS-10 keeps the Tartan Ten's sportboat character alive for one-design fleet racing.
